Issue Overview:
He was a soldier. A killer. A man with no past… and now, no limits.

Bloodshot #1 kicks off the antihero’s first solo run, introducing:

• His full origin as a nanite-infused superweapon

• The secret organization that built and manipulated him

• Flashbacks to mob life, memory implants, and betrayal

• That iconic red circle chest shot — one of the most recognizable covers of the 90s

Written by Kevin VanHook with art by Don Perlin, this issue lays the groundwork for decades of Valiant storytelling.

Condition Notes (VF/NM Estimate):

• Cover: Glossy, bright, with very light surface wear possible

• Spine: Tight with 0–2 faint stress marks

• Corners: Sharp with minor softening

• Interior Pages: White to off-white, clean

• Bagged & boarded for protection

Why This Issue Still Bleeds Value:

• First issue in Bloodshot’s solo series — a Valiant Universe key

• Foundation for Bloodshot Reborn, Bloodshot Salvation, and the film adaptation

• VF/NM makes this ideal for display, resale, or CGC submission

• Valiant's most enduring character alongside X-O Manowar

From the Reaper’s biotech blacksite — where memories lie, and redemption comes with a body count.
